A 10/10 rating given by my reluctant reader son I hesitated about buying this book after reading some comments about the bookâs size. Iâm so glad it did buy it.

I loved The Secret Lake, itâs the best book ever! I really liked the pictures and the writing pushed me up a level with my reading, I learnt some new words!I liked all the characters because they were exciting, especially the dancing moles.The book was so much fun my mummy had to pull the book away to stop me reading at night! Iâd recommend The Secret Lake to children aged 6-12 years old who enjoy mystery, adventure and surprises!Johnny, aged 6 and 3/4
